Whether they randomly pick on anyone, or whether they seek out the most vulnerable, they get craftier and craftier. Years ago, someone somehow managed to invade my laptop, disable it, then a message flashed up purporting to be from the Metropolitan police, stating that my internet had been seized because it had been linked to sites containing terrorist activity, child and animal porn.....I must have been very busy.
Thankfully, if I just filled in my card details and sent off a hefty cheque, the Met would release my computer...presumably so I could carry on watching these sites.
Words fail me - I am not irritated but simply astonished.
Of course the kettle was empty so no cup of tea, I can drink ginger but Shorty can't and trying to explain to the small furball the water in her bowl needs last isn't easy.
The greedy wee git is gulping it down like there's no tomorrow!!

It's been fixed!!
A nice cup of Scottish Blend and Shorty's bowl has been filled.
It was actually Jack's bowl but Shorty's bowl was lightweight and she went through a stage of throwing it round the scullery.
Jack's bowl weighs a ton, so no high jinks!!

Good it's been fixed, it's horrible when water, gas elec are not working for whatever reason.
We had to turn the gas and heating off yesterday so the system could be thoroughly checked. The workman came at the allotted time, was ages doing the full boiler check...it was freezing.
What irritated me....when he had gone I went to tidy up the bedroom where the boiler is, He had used one of my best towels to mop up the water that had spilled out when he drained the boiler.
Had he asked, I could have given him old towels or cloths or paper roll....but no, my fluffy new towel was in a soggy stained heap in the cupboard.

Maybe she has had to pay and drug men to have sex with her....which would be understandable.

No respect some folk.
Workman came a few weeks ago and now marched through the house with his big boots on.
Got mud all over the carpet, I've got a mat inside and outside the front door but no he couldn't use them!!

She's a wee swine but I do love her.
She needs a haircut but can't get one because the groomer as gone to Crufts with Walter.
He's a smashing dog, he's a Clumber Spaniel.
You don't see many of them!!

A dog like Walter.
He spent last Christmas at the emergency vets after scoffing the Christmas Cake.
Another dog was there getting his stomach pumped after eating a box of Lindt chocolates.
Shorty ate a cherry pip a few months ago, I had to go through her poops until I found it.
My dog, not the one I have now, ate a sock. I went down his gullet like a bloody kipper! Three days later it emerged, thank God.

Jack did that once, nearly grabbed the Sunday Roast once too.
He must have thought it was Christmas!!

Upset stomach again
So while I was making my coffee and awaiting for the kettle to boil, I put two soluble tablets in a glass and then i was distracted by Shorty and i poured the boiling water into the glass instead of my cup.
So I had to wait ages until it cooled down.

You were lucky though. I have done that in the past and the glass has cracked.
A tip I heard (after the event) if you leave a spoon in the glass then pour boiling water in it, it should be OK.

Thanks Syl that's a good thing to know.
Another tip involving a spoon is if you sook on one while peeling onions your eyes won't water.

I am presuming sook is Scottish for suck?
I have also heard if you stuff bread up inside your top lip, that also prevents you crying...is it worth looking like Marlon Brando in the Godfather though?

What the hell do GP's do nowadays?
It used to take 2 days to order prescriptions at the surgery then pick them up at the chemist next door.
Now it takes 3 days for a Dr to sign them off....problem being, even 3 days later they still haven't managed to press a key on a computer to allow the repeat prescription to be made up by the chemist.

It took several days, not very pleasant.

Oh, the joys of pet ownership.
God Vicky!
Thankfully I've got a poor sense of smell, pretty disgusting though!!! Shorty needs to be called Scruffy, till she gets a haircut!!
